Great Falls
Follow the trail of Lewis, Clark, and Sacagawea into the Old West and spend your holiday weekend under the Big Sky. Thankfully, the area hasn’t changed much since the historic trek of 1804–06. Picture Brad Pitt in A River Runs Through It, knee deep in a rivulet of the Missouri River, rod in hand, the mountains stretching up behind him, pocked by soaring pines – that’s Montana for you. Today, you can follow the steps of early explorers and venture through river canyons and past white sandstone cliffs until you see the most spectacular site of all: the multi-chute Great Falls waterfalls. Besides the awesome scenery, there are plenty of activities, like fly-fishing, white-water rafting, kayaking, and canoeing to do; history buffs can also visit museums, go on cultural tours, and partake in educational workshops. The seven Indian reservations around the state also evoke the Lewis and Clark days – a complementary visit can be arranged for a perspective into the tribes' rich cultural heritage, often still upheld through traditional garb and rituals.
